MEMPHIS THE FUTURE GREAT
or the s0uth--The Vigorous Young
Giant Leading the Race Of
Progress

Holly Springs Miss South: Tbs
attention oil everyone who visits this
city is attracted to the wonderful inn
provements that are being made.
Houses are springing up as il by
magic and business Ia increasing at a
rapid rate. 1t ia no sudden boom,
property ia not being sold at fictitious
values, but it is a healthy, vigorous
growth and prosperity hat are there
to ptay. Far seeing and we'll informed
capitalists are Investing their money
there. Business men are not afraid to
invest in the various lines OF business,
and owners of real estate are erecting
houses upon their lots, knowing that
they will receive handsome divi-
dend In the shaps OF rents. Indeed,
Memphis ia today the rising city
OF the South, vigorous young
giant, that has just awakened to the
fact that there are mighty possibilities
not far in the future. We rejoice to
see this, for while Memphis ia located
within the borders OF another State,
yet by reason Of our proximity to
Memphis, che has always been the
trading point Of the citizens of North
Mississippi particularly, and as many
OF her most energetic business and
profess onal men are Mississippians,
Memphis is regarded by many as
almost Mississippi city. II Memphis
continues to advance in the future In
proportion 10 the past few years, she
will certainly be the grand commercial
center Of the great Mississippi Valley.
We like Memphis, we admire the en-.
cry and push manifested under the
most appalling disasters, and we trust
that the brightest dreams OF her most
Hanguine friends may be realized.

When the crops are gathered, with

OF Prince. The letters from the women
were received on the same day, and
the doctor called upon each as soon as
possible. In about three weeks he
became engaged to the Bulgin woman,
and the wedding was appointed for
March 9th. The expeCtant bride was in
readiness, bat the doctor had the cere-
mony postponed because, as he raid,
